[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 2427189, member: 196960"] Welcome [USER=546930]@Mandyque[/USER]. We all go through a grieving stage on diagnosis. Everyone is different so the time it takes and how that grief effects you is individually to you. I grieved for my healthy lifestyle (or so I thought) and my work hard/play hard motto. I believed because I didn't smoke nor drank much I was keeping healthy, far healthier than my siblings/ cousins / aunties + uncles and parents alike. I'm the only diabetic. Eh? How does that seem fair? Acceptance was my key to motivation to make safer changes for me. You will power ahead. You will conquer your aims. Then another acceptance of enjoying your good work is definitely allowed in fact it's a must. I've worked hard but just short of stopping insulin therapy. Refusing weight gaining meds after losing huge weight seems the right thing to do for me right now. I'm keen to power through maybe losing more but not prepared to wear myself out trying more walking or carrying heavy bags. For now anyway. I'm only a few weeks away from having my gallbladder out so I'm taking things easy. When I remember that is. You have a great adventure in your life and it sounds like you've started well. Also never never feel its yur fault your metabolism has gone haywire. It happens to loads of people. We are not alone. Myself I do envy those brought up by conscious and knowledgeable parents. My guess there isn't many. However more now than when I was growing up on the 1970s. Well we can all dream can't we. I the ideal world we would have come with a manual after all. This type2 'curse' seems unimaginable when looking into your babies eyes who popped out perfect. It can effect anyone. I had symptoms when I was 6yrs old. Good luck with your journey and enjoy posters here. It's lovely having a diabetic family for to ask questions to help you grow. I've been posting for years. I message friends and still have contact via emails and see old posters alive and healthy on facebook. Some disappear then reappear again. Its all for the individuals pace and need. It's lovely to see your post and I look forward to seeing how you get on. Many just read posts and don't reply or add anything but they are watching your journey unfold.
